GME Licensed Stills from Warren Sonbert's AMPHETAMINE for Dr. Maurice Nagington's book THE MORAL LESSONS OF CHEMSEX: A CRITICAL APPROACH

Dr. Maurice Nagington’s book The Moral Lessons of Chemsex: A Critical Approach was published by Routledge on December 23, 2024, and is now available to own in print and digital editions. Two stills from Warren Sonbert’s debut film AMPHETAMINE (1966) were licensed by GME to appear in the pages of Nagington’s book. Those stills, which depict young gay men using intravenous drugs, are well-suited for Nagington’s book, which “explores how gay and bi men’s lived experiences of chemsex intersect with its cultural representations.”
